So the 2103 shows have been in
full effect and we’ve kept a beady eye on the jewellery looks that are coming
our way. In particular, we love the emergence of arm candy as one-to-watch with
bangles, cuffs, bead
bracelets and stacks all
putting in an appearance.

If, like us, you can’t wait a
whole year to get stuck into this mood, here’s our cheat’s guide to staying
ahead of next year’s top trends.

POWER GRID

Adorn yourself with jewels inspired by architectural elements. Inject an urban edge into your jewellery wardrobe this season with metallic mesh patterns and grid-like silhouettes.

Key Style Notes

Open wirework

Layering

Repetition

Geometric patterns

ROCK CHIC

It’s rough and raw, this season texture and surface interest are key. Embrace the natural landscape of hidden treasure and celebrate the earth’s bounty from below the crust.

Key Style Notes

Uncut stones

Semi-precious rocks

Oversize elements

Statement jewels

PROM QUEEN

Embrace the charm and celebration associated with proms and 1950s- inspired femininity where girl-next-door charm meets vintage nostalgia with a sneaky glance across to kitsch.

This season sees surface embellishment adorn clothes on a grand scale. Palettes, embroidery, crystal beadwork and lace abound, creating texture-rich surfaces that capture the imagination and beg to be touched.

Key Style Notes

Intricate beadwork

Paste and crystal

Cabochon stones

Mixed media

SHEET METAL

A counterpoint to the season’s more fanciful trends, this is an opportunity to enjoy minimalism’s new mood. Silhouette and detail are kept simple; the focus is on oversized jewellery which celebrates the beauty of precious metal.

Belts are trendy and relevant accessories. In a new season
to be in vogue you should wear it not only with dresses, skirts and trousers,
but also with jackets, coats, tunics and fur coats. In women’s belts
collections of the season everybody can find a variety of textiles, forms and
original facings.

Narrow belts are still in vogue, but wide ones become again
the leading trend of the season. Large details, rigid form and metal buckles
are relevant for them.

Metallic elements in the facing of belts are present in
many designer collections and demonstrate a variety of shapes and styles: on
the one hand - elegant and womanly chains with ornaments, on the other -
absolutely smooth and strict belts of various width.

Belts made of suede, fabric or even fur are the latest
trend, thus the coloring can be of any bright color.

Long belts meaning a double turn round a waist or hips move
to a new autumn and winter season 2012-2013.

The same concerns also belts-corsets. They again focus an
attention to the waist, becoming a fashionable trend of the season. The
tendency to concentrate attention not only on waist, but also on hips is
noticeable among these models: the new is slightly forgotten old.

Original form of women’s belts is in fashion. Asymmetry,
geometrical lines and any non-standard decisions are relevant.

Contrary to absolutely smooth women's belts many models demonstrate a
bright facing with beads, metal studs and crystals. Accessories in the shape of
bows, ties, decorative hinges and original buckles do not lose its relevance.

I fell in love with these
earrings; they are just in time for holiday parties or to give as a gift!

Bundled up doesn't have to mean
bungled up. You can show just how easy it can be to stay warm while staying chic this
season. With the snowy, brisk winter
season upon us, it’s becoming incredibly trendy to combat the white winter
wonderland with robust, colorful fashion statements.

As the cold air sets in, and I am freezing my little ears

There
is nothing more divine than wearing a long soft knit sweater former over your
best fitting and most comfortable pair of jeans. From cardigans to v-necks the best sweaters are ones that will
wash and wear well every time you do it on. Unlit, white, gray and cream are
the best color choices and will work as key pieces in your wardrobe because the
neutral color plot is extremely versatile and complimentary.

Wear
a long soft knit sweater over a pair of leggings, jeans or trousers. Add a pair
of chic lace up ankle boots, vintage styled gemstone
jewelry and a slouchy hobo handbag to complete the look.

This
winter the top four fashion trends for women include military styles,
courageous graphic prints, chic tuxedo jackets and long soft knit sweaters.
Invest in one or two key pieces that blend well with your wardrobe. Neutral color schemes are often the best plot to incorporate the
latest fashion trends into your unique style.

As I always annotate the fact
that fashion lovers usually adore winter in-spite of summer season.
